आदिवर्णत्रयं नाभिहृच्छिरस्सु यथाक्रमम्। न्यसनीयं च तद्वर्णदेवताध्यानपूर्वकम् ॥३३॥
ādivarṇatrayaṁ nābhihr̥cchirassu yathākramam। nyasanīyaṁ ca tadvarṇadēvatādhyānapūrvakam ॥33॥
[आदि-वर्ण-त्रयं नाभि हृच्छिरस्सु यथाक्रमम्। न्यसनीयं च तत् वर्ण देवता ध्यानपूर्वकम्॥
ādi-varṇa-trayaṁ = the primal tree syllables; nābhi hr̥cchirassu = in the navel, heart, and head; yathākramam = in proper order;। nyasanīyaṁ = to be placed; ca = and; tat varṇa = those respective syllables; dēvatā = gods; dhyānapūrvakam = engaged in meditation;॥]
The three primal syllables (Ā, Ū, Ma) must be placed in proper order at the navel, the heart, and the head, by meditating on the gods of those respective syllables.
Note:
"Nyāsa" i.e. "to place", is the process of installing the form of the lord at various body parts before starting the meditation. It is performed for protection and purification. As per tradition, one should touch the three body parts chanting below mantras as part of
Nyāsa:
- "Ām Vishwāya Namaha" - touch the navel, meditating on Universal form of the lord.
- "Ūm Taijasāya Namaha" - touch the heart, meditating on the energy form of the lord.
- "Mam Prajnāya Namaha" - touch the head, meditating on the omniscient form of the lord.
